Breaking: Abbott’s ‘Labour right’ abuser suspended

Yesterday, the SKWAWKBOX reported a threatening and arguably racist comment about Diane Abbott had been made on Facebook by a Labour member, Andy Bigham – another example of the reality of abuse as a right-wing phenomenon in spite of attempts by the Establishment media and Labour right to portray it as a left-wing problem.

Bigham later edited his post, but Facebook’s editing history feature means that the original is not really hidden:

Labour sources have told the SKWAWKBOX that the party has been swamped by complaints about Bigham’s post – and that he has today been suspended pending investigation.

I feel very proud of Diane, the way she holds her head up high and carries on supporting Jeremy and the Labour Party, despite all of the vile abuse she has to contend with. I also feel very sorry for her as no-one should have to go through this. I wish I could shake her hand and thank her for all she does, and also give her a big hug and tell her to ignore the Blairite scum who are inflicting this on her.

He had some posts claiming he was a prospective Labour Councillor in his area. I seriously hope that’s untrue. He’s an appalling rightwinger who has been banned from numerous forums for constant attacks on Corbyn – on the man, not the policies. (If I remember rightly one theme of the attacks was that Corbyn might have had an affair with a black woman… Abbott.)

He has made comments like this for along time he has bullied other labour party members including myself with suspicious tory accounts Michael Walker and Chris Macfarlane. He has numerous right wing friends from the conseverative party very questionable.
